WEEKEND ZERO: OVERFLOW

WOW


Unnerving. That may be the best word to describe how the vibes feel as your sight begins to clear and you find yourself on the ground. The air is chilly, and you don't see anything that may represent the sun or the moon for a sense of time. You look around expecting to find some sort of buildings, wildlife, or anything of use, but your immediate line of vision only shows a sprawling monochrome landscape.

Are you feeling adventurous? As you get to your feet, you have the opportunity to wander further and begin assessing the situation. You'll quickly find that the only thing on your person are the clothes on your back. Traveling will eventually lead you to a few areas, though none of them appear very promising either.

Don't stray too far, however. While there are few hints of plant life (nothing nourishing, nothing satisfying), you won't find much else. There's no food or running water; resources seem scarce. The further you go, the more you begin to feel colder and weaker. Your eyes begin to play tricks on you, and everything ahead of you looks unfocused and even more gray than before. An imminent sense of danger hangs above you...you can't quite pinpoint why, but your gut instinct says there's something else out there just lying beyond your reach.

Perhaps you'll have luck another day. For now, it seems as though your only option is to make use of the areas you do have access to and try to settle in. But don't worry, you aren't alone. There's 35 other people just waiting to see what you'll do next.




Welcome to your weekend zero intro to [community profile] chroma! While characters have access to the locations available, they do not have access to anything else including their home items. Please note that characters do not know what their primary color or complementary colors are as of yet, and IC profiles are not in-play at this time.

Things of note!

► You can find food (cotton candy, stale hot dog buns with no hot dogs, etc) in the carnival, but none of it is filling. It's monochrome, and you're hungry again five minutes later.
► There's water in the mansion but it's kind of grey.
► Seriously, it's cold.
► You arrive in your canon outfit. It is also monochrome, like someone drained the dye out of your clothes.

Stay tuned for more updates throughout the weekend, and happy settling!

Heh... well, I should warn you that the rabbits of the moon aren't the same as rabbits elsewhere, so other people might get confused if you talk about them.

Give me your hand?

Oh! Is it a... sub... species? Hermes worked a lot on different creations, and sometimes they would look the same.. but not exactly. He would call them sub-species!

[ but of course she gives them her hand, not a single moment of hesitation. ]

You know, that's a good question. I'm afraid I don't know the answer myself.

[on her hand, they trace the outline of something like a creature, describing as they go.]

They look a bit like cats... Have you seen a cat before? Pointy ears, eyes and a nose, a furry body, and then a long tail with a puffy ball and something resembling a feather...

Cats?

[ thinking... thinking... and, oh! ]

I've seen some 'felines' creations. They're usually small. Sometimes they're big too! There are some in the facility that are made of fire too. [ nodnod. She Understands. ] I see.. so that's a rabbit!

Facility?

[personal profile] meteion 2022-02-14 09:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[ it's normal! ]

Hermes says, before creations can be released.. they have their own kinda.. environments! For observation. To see if they're safe and good to be let out. [ Protocols. ]

[...]

I see. I can understand that... Do you also live in this facility, or are you a visitor?

[personal profile] meteion 2022-02-16 07:42 am (UTC)(link)
No, I'm not a visitor. I don't stay inside.. that facility, but I live in the place it's in! It's called... Elpis.

It's named after the flowers... that I'm also made from!

[they blink.]

You're made from flowers? Is that through some sort of science or magic?
